Grandmas Blankets Update

Grandmas Blankets Update

I've had to postpone the delivery of food to the Mission.

We will, Lord willing, send the groceries out

closer to Thanksgiving.

Blankets are getting ready to be delivered to

a grieving family who unexpectantly lost their 54 yr old

Husband, Father.  He was the only provider. 

Personal supplies and laundry supplies

are also going to the family.

A blanket is also being delivered to an elderly man who has been injured in a fall. 

I think he's close to 90 years old. His wife is also close to 90 yrs.

We also gave a crocheted tote and a small quilt 

to a lady who had a stroke.

Please pray.

I'm working on 15 throws 

for a nursing home near Hinckley.

They will be sent out before Thanksgiving.

Crochet in the same pattern all the way around starting at *.

Then sc around your project 1x but remembering to crochet 3 sc ch1 3 sc in the corners.

ss to close at the end of the round.

Stay at the top of your project now, chain three, dc in the second sc all the way across

dc in every st.  turn and do that again 2x.  There should be 3 rows of dc.  Make sure the rows stay even at the ends.

When you finish both sides of your tote.  

Place the two sides together evenly. Sc into each st around 3 sides. 

Leave the long side open - which is the opening to your tote.

Sc around the top 2 rows.  Weave in any loose 

threads using matching yarn and a yarn 

needle and cut excess threads.

Make Flap

Use the 13th granny square to make a tote flap.  Sew the one end

down on the center back of your tote with matching thread and a yarn needle.  

Place three button at the front matching then up with the corner holes and center hole.

Sew them down securely Then you can button your tote closed.

Handles

Make Two Handles

Now ch 60 with double threads in orange leaving 2 1/2 in leads and ends. 10 x

Twist 5 chains together then tie and sew the ends down leaving your tassels at the ends. 2x

You should have two twisted handles attached evenly when you are done.

Trim the tassels evenly. 

Make 4 Flowers

ch *7  then ss into the ring  repeat 6 times at * ( a six petal flower)

ss closed. Pull the 2 strings downward. Make 4 total.

Place your flowers at the bottom corners of your top granny square.

Use your crochet hook to pull the threads to the inside of the

 tote and tie them with a three ties knot. Cut off the excess threads.

Look at the pictures.  Do this on both sides.

Liner

Outline the size of your bag 

Onto folded lace fabric.

(I just laid my bag on top of the fabric 

and cut around it.)

Sew all the side except for the top opening

with a half-inch seam.

Iron the top opening a half-inch outward.

The outside should show all the seams.

Place your liner inside of your bag

pushing corners into the corners of the bag.

With orange thread and regular needle, 

Tack the corners from the outside of the bag.

Every 2 inches or so tac down the 

top lining to the inside of the bag.

 at least an inch down.

Look at the pictures.

Tip

I put the 6000 glue 

under the gaps

 between the tacking.

Very lightly. 

I put Strong Elmer's glue underneath the 

flowers to keep them from bunching up.

It stiffens them a little bit.

Hide all your yarn threads

could use it for almost anything.
